GLASS-CLEANER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

a plication filed February 15, me. Serial 1%. 749,549.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS GEORGE HA'rosr, Jr, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Glass-Cleaner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to glass cleaners, such as shown and described in the Letters Patent of the United States, No. 975,862, granted to me on November 15, 1910.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved glass cleaner, which is very simple and durable in construction and arranged to permit the barkeeper or other person to conveniently, quickly and thoroughly clean the glasses, and to allow of setting the cleaner into the washing or rinsing tank of a bar or of removing it therefrom whenever it is desired to do so 'forreplacing worn out brushes by new ones or for" other .urposes.

In order to accomp ish the desired result use is made of a heavy base, adapted to be set onto the bottom of the washing tank,

and provided with an opening, and a brush ing device having a back fitting into the said opening, the back carrying inclined brush stems provided with brush heads.

A practical embodiment of the invent-ion is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in

which similar characters of reference indi-' cate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of'the glass cleaner in position in the washing and rinsing tank of a bar, parts being shown in section; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional side elevation on the line 22 of Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is a cross section of the same on the lin 3-3 of Fig.2.

The bar A is provided with the usual washing and'rinsing tank B having a water supply C and an, overflow pipe D for maintaining the water in the tank B at the same predetermined level.

The-glass cleaner presently to be describe in detail is set onto the bottom of the tank B, and for this purpose the glass cleaner is provided with a base E, preferably made of metal so as to be sufliciently heavy to properly hold the glass cleaner in position in the tanlnand submerged in the water contained therein. The under side of the base E is concave and it is provided with a central opening E into which fits the back F of a Fig. 2, and the brush back F is correspondingly beveled so that the brush back can only be inserted into the opening E from the under side of the base E to prevent the brush back F from being pulled out of the base E. The brush back F is provided with a transversely extendin dovetail groove F into which fit the feet H of the'brush stems II, the said feet being secured "in place by screws or nails J eX- tending longitudinally in the brush back and passing through the said feet H, as plainly indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. A spacing block H is also placed int-o the groove F between the feet H, as shown in Fig. 3. The brush stemsH are inclined upwardly and are arranged parallel one relative to the other, and the brush heads I are preferably made cylindrical with the outer ends rounded off, as plainly indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. The

brush heads I are so arranged that the bristles on the adjacent or opposite sides are in contact with each other so that when a glass is pushed over the brush head I the latter cleans it on the inside and on turning the glass the other brush head I cleans iton the outside.

In practice the brush heads I are below the level of the water contained in the tank B and the barkeeper can readily place a glass upside down over either brush head I and then on turning the glass the interior as Well as the exterior of the glass are quickly and thoro-ughly cleaned especially as the brush heads and the glass are both under the water, and hence the water greatlyaids in cleaning the glass and carrying 01f the extraneous matter, such as foam and the like, loosened by the brush heads on turning the glass as above mentioned.

Whenever it is desired to clean the tank B the glass cleaner can be readily lifted outof the tank B for the time being and returned to the tank after the latter is cleaned.

In case the brush heads I'become worn from the tank B can readily disengage the brush back F from the base E, and on re moving the fastening devices J the feet H can be readily lifted out of the groove F. Thestems with new brush heads I thereon can now be engaged with the groove F and fastened in place by the fastening means J, after which the brush back with the stems H and brush heads I is placed in position on the base E from the under side thereof, after which the glass cleaner is returned to the tank B.

Although the device has been shown and described in connection with the washing and rinsing tank of a bar, it may be used in washing tanks of counters and other fixtures.

The glass cleaner shown and described is very simple and durable in construction and can be cheaply manufactured and readily applied without requiring any changes in the construction of the tank or other parts of the bar.

Having thus described 'my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A glass cleaner, comprising a base having a central opening, a brush back removably held in the opening of the base, a stem removably secured to the brush back, and a brush head on the said steml 2. A glass cleaner, comprising a heavy base having a concave under side and a central opening, the opposite walls of which are beveled, a tapering brush back fitting into the said opening, an inclined stem extending from the said back, and a brush head on the said stem.

3. A glass cleaner, comprisinga base provided with a beveled opening, the walls of the opening inclining inwardly and upwardly, a brush back in the opening of the base and having beveled sides, said sides inclining inwardly and upwardly, and a brush carrying stem detachably secured to the back. I

4. A glass cleaner, comprising a heavy base having a concave under side and a central opening, the opposite walls of which are beveled, a tapering brush back fitting into the said opening and provided with a dovetail groove, a brush stem having a foot fitting into the said groove, the stem being inclined upwardly, and a brush head on the said stem.

5. A glass cleaner, comprising a baseha-ving a central tapering opening, a tapering brush back fitting in the opening of the base and provided with a groove in its upper face, stems each provided wit-h a foot re- .movably secured in the groove of the brush back, the stems being parallel and spaced apart, and a brush head on each of the stems.

6. A glass cleaner, comprising a base having a concave lower face and provided with a beveled opening, the walls of the opening inclining inwardly 'and upwardly, a brush back in the opening of the base and having beveled sides, said sides inclining inwardly and upwardly, said back being provided with a recess, a brush carrying stem having a portion fitting. in the recess of the back, and a pin in the back and engaging the portion of the stem in the recess, the said pin being below the upper face of the base.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
